He-Man will quite possibly be in the $250.00 to $300.00 category, when compared to similar licensed characters, i.e. Lion-O, Mumm-ra, etc..

I completely agree with both these sentiments. The paint applications can make or break a great sculpt, and as mentioned, the translation from a "simple" animation cel to a three-dimensional statue needs to have a spot-on paint job to make it work.

Also, He-Man's face has always been an area of contention when it comes to the third dimension. I hope that PCS can pull off the translation well. He-Man's portrait is arguably the most important part of this statue.

The Filmation characters are deceptively simple in design, yet incredibly difficult in execution.... we will all just have to keep an eye on the progression of these statues.

Beastman will look so good, im diggin these statues. Also a life size bust, finally, i cant wait for this, ive wanted a life size bust for so long, i just hope there is heaps of detail in the face showing off lots of lines and teeth and so on. Scary gruesome stuff.

What is a 1/4 MOTU Statue? Is this an IconHeroes statue or is it something MOTUC related?

These are statues in a 1:4 scale being produced by Pop Culture Shock Collectibles. They are extremely detailed and often-times include real fabric costumes and metal weapons. They are generally very expensive (depending on your spending habits...) running around the $250.00 to $400.00 range. They are not associated with MOTUC.

When you say next, does that mean that there are previous ones? I haven't been following news all that frequently lately and I feel like I'm missing something.

So far He-Man is the only character being produced, and he has not been given a solid release date yet. Look a couple of pages back in this thread for an idea of how he is going to appear. Remember, these are HUGE statues at 1:4 scale that equals a massive 18 inches plus base!

so I have never bought any thing like this. Are these something that will go on sale or do they stay at that price permanently? They also showed off an evil Lynn but that beastman looks the best so far.
